2 Outline NRDC NSDD EXFOR International collaboration CRPs DDPs Training Security R. A. Forrest, WPEC

3 NRDC International Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC) Aim: EXFOR Core data centres: NNDC NEA-DB IAEA-NDS CJD 10 specialized centres Meeting Paris, April 2012 (full Centre Heads) R. A. Forrest, WPEC

4 NSDD International Network of Nuclear Structure and Decay Data Evaluators (NSDD) Aim: Provide up-to-date evaluated nuclear structure and decay data Regular meetings since 1974 Last in April 2011 in Vienna 18 evaluation centres ENSDF master database at NNDC R. A. Forrest, WPEC

5 EXFOR Compiled experimental data The EXFOR database was established in the 1960s Originally exclusively neutron-induced reaction data Now includes charged particle data and higher energies Since 2003 the EXFOR libraries at the various data centres have been merged NDS has responsibility for the maintenance of this Master file R. A. Forrest, WPEC

6 EXFOR (cont.) EXFOR Compilation Control System used to coordinate the compilation of the data centres During 2011, the average time between publication and compilation dropped to 5.8 months EXFOR contains data for about 19,400 experiments Continuing effort to remove errors and inconsistencies from the database Managed by the EXFOR Feedback list (250 Very urgent items) R. A. Forrest, WPEC

7 EXFOR (cont.) To make best use of these data considerable work on various retrieval and visualisation systems Output formats: EXFOR+ format XML and HTML C4 format - numeric data in simple tables Standard EXFOR format On-line tools extract, plot with evaluated data and show corrections R. A. Forrest, WPEC 2012

8 Automatic data re-normalization Original data Re-normalized data

9 Automatic data re-normalization Compare with ENDF-B/VII.0 After renormalization: 2 = Before renormalization: 2 =

10 Example of manual corrections results Data corrected Before and after corrections

11 DDEP DDEP collaboration established in 1994 Decay data specialists who use a specific evaluation methodology Publishes decay data through the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) Monographie series NDS has been a major contributor to DDEP for many years: CRP on x-ray and gamma ray decay data standards CRP on Updated Decay Data Library for Actinides (84 evaluations) R. A. Forrest, WPEC

A. Forrest, WPEC

27 NDS Computer Network R. A. Forrest, WPEC

28 Planned NDS Computer Network R. A. Forrest, WPEC

29 2 nd shut-down Focussing not on hardware but on software penetration testing showed some vulnerabilities with NDS applications Friday 27 th April, web page shutdown due again, down until 10 th May Documentation shows several classes of problems: SQL injection Script vulnerabilities Wiki software out of data Folders could be listed R. A. Forrest, WPEC

30 The Future Limited justification for shut-down NDS needs to maintain independence We have expert system staff Investigating external hosting site Some changes to working procedure, but should be transparent to users Apologies and explanation in Newsletter and in News item on Web page Increased scrutiny on NDS operation R. A. Forrest, WPEC

31 Thank you! R. A. Forrest, WPEC
